2010 - Progressive/Psychedelic Rock from United States
Detailed Description
Official reissue of this rare tripped-out progressive psychedelic rock private press record out of Baltimore circa 1974. This release features the entire original recording as it was meant to be, but was shortened for release back in 1974 due to the time constraints of the original vinyl format. Package includes liner notes and photos and 20-page booklet with lyrics, short stories, quotes, poems and more. The unique progressive style of Oho should appeal to fans of the Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, Gentle Giant school of progressive music as well as those looking for something original, psychedelic and/or bizarre and daring. Were they musical geniuses or just completely zonked out on acid? Housed in high gloss tri-fold digipak cover with 20-page booklet insert! Some press quotes: "This is Sgt. Pepper's for advanced listeners." -Hanf!; "An hour of this and you'll be ready to be carried away to the tangerine jungle of marshmallow madness." -Greg Shaw (Who Put the Bomp, #19); "OKINAWA is astonishingly full of weirdness that falls somewhere in Syd Barret-era Floydland: some psychedelia, some art noise, some bizarre theatrics--but all around inventive and well-crafted." -Ira Robbins (Trouser Press Record Guide); "An album of immense proportions. There is a plethora of great music here. It's an excellent album really, fascinating and extreme." -Mike McLatchey (Expose)
